Limited public information is available on other large-scale named residential or mixed-use projects (e.g., the previously discussed ~220-unit "The Drift" apartment/mixed-use development on SR 520 faced impact fee concerns in early 2026 and shows no confirmed recent progress or active construction).[3][4]

Cocoa Beach is largely built-out, with future growth focused on redevelopment rather than greenfield development. Smaller-scale new single-family homes and condo units (e.g., listings on Turtle Beach Lane or at 4620 Ocean Beach Blvd) appear in real estate portals as new construction, but they lack publicly detailed project names, large developers, or unit counts beyond individual listings.[5][5]

No other significant verifiable new construction projects matching the criteria were identified as of September 2026.
